Grassley want to help Ford be comfortable
CNN ^ | September 19, 2028

Posted on 09/19/2018 11:29:14 AM PDT by hankbrown

Senate Judiciary Chairman Chuck Grassley said Wednesday that he is focused on "doing everything" to make Christine Blasey Ford, who has accused President Donald Trump's Supreme Court nominee of sexually assaulting her when they were teenagers in the 1980s, comfortable with appearing before the committee.

Let's see how this plays out. Senator Grassley might be caving but he might also be smoking her out. If he makes gracious offers to make it easy for her to testify and she still refuses, he makes her game evident to all but the most partisan of Democrats. I think this is President Trump's strategy in saying that he wants to hear her testimony. Make it clear that she could have testified but wouldn't take the opportunity.

Grassley, just STFU

She can be an adult and back her 36 year old claim or she she can GTH for lying and defamation

Stop playing their game with the Pandering.

When you make up your own ‘Title of Thread’ instead of using the real one at the URL you provide you might think about letting MS word check it for Grammar

“...want...” shouldbe “wants’

The real title is :”Grassley writes Kavanaugh accuser to explain why Senate, not the FBI, should investigate her claims”

He's trying to get Kavanaugh confirmed , he doesn't give a crap about her

Poster altered the title. It should read:

Grassley writes Kavanaugh accuser to explain why Senate, not the FBI, should investigate her claims

All this Blasey-Feinstein narrative is telling me - is that women are indeed the weaker sex, who need special care and privileges. They do not need to follow the same evidentiary, or logical, processes as men.

I think that Grassley has done well on this. He is trying to bring alone all 11 of the Republican members, plus 2-3 Republicans in the Senate to allow them to vote for Kavanaugh with out being characterized as “bullying” the girl. I think that she is lying out of teeth but we need all the Republicans on this and can’t afford to be thought of as harsh. When she doesn’t testify Grassley has the excuse he needs to push ahead with the vote. the count will be 54-46 for confirmation.

he real title is :”Grassley writes Kavanaugh accuser to explain why Senate, not the FBI, should investigate her claims”

Grassley is handling this exactly right. I’m still waiting for someone to answer about the Thomas Hill hearing that they were both federal employees at the time it was supposed to have happened, the accusations were recent, and the FBI investigation said it did not find anything to substantial Anita Hills accusation

Why should any woman, unless she is weeping, bruised, and bleeding in the emergency room, be made comfortable while she makes her life-destroying, family destroying, and even civilization-destroying accusations.

I say she should be d@&#ed uncomfortable doing this, and her story should be nit-picked to hades and back by a hardened cynical skeptical old police detective who has seen and heard it all, and a long hard look taken at her motives for telling such a tale.

It is high time we women put a stop to this nonsense; we are the only ones who can. And remember, ladies, especially those of you who believe a women should always be believed, no matter how preposterous, it is YOUR son, YOUR husband, YOUR brother, Your father, who may be next.

I am sick of this, these women do not deserve to be comfortable. The instant they tell their tale, the victim of it is terrifying uncomfortable and he is entitled to the supposition of innocence. Let the accuser be made just as uncomfortable as the accused, until the truth is determined. And, please God, let her go to prison for a long long time and be placed on a sexual predator list if she lies.

If it is determined that the woman is telling the truth, then an apology can be made, and the accused pay the price.

Grassley has handled this like a genius.

Do you people not understand we do not have 55 or 60 Senators?

Keep your eye on the prize, Grassley is removing their ammunition.

Grassley want to help Ford be comfortable

Make her completely comfortable for her perjury, so later it can't be claimed she was coerced.

RE:”Why should any woman, unless she is weeping, bruised, and bleeding in the emergency room, be made comfortable while she makes her life-destroying, family destroying, and even civilization-destroying accusations.”

Grassley didn't say that, the poster made up his own title to get rants as comments, didn't you notice the bad grammar in the made up one?
